Places

Laos is often thought of (if at all), as the forgotten country in Southeast Asia, and rightfully so. Thailand is the obvious choice for modern-day backpackers and digital nomads, Malaysia is the more “civilized” country, Myanmar is the “mysterious” one, Cambodia is the “Wild West”, and Vietnam the “chaotic” one. But Laos is still relatively […]

Especially in Southeast Asia, traveling as a digital nomad it can be difficult to find good, comfortable places to work from. First of all, the internet in most places simply sucks. Don’t assume because they have a “free wifi” sign out front that you’ll be able to use it; many times it’s too slow to […]

Sometimes the life of a Digital Nomad requires him to settle down for a while and get some work done. The time for that, for me, is now. I just started a part time web development job with a company out of London and I simply can’t pass up the opportunity. The nice part – […]

Czech absinthe is terrible. There, I said it. Despite Prague being one of the most popular places in the world to buy and drink absinthe, it’s one of the worst places to do it. Most bars and restaurants around here have absinthe on the menu, but for god’s sake, don’t get it. Most likely it’ll […]

From Space, you can still see the division between East and West Germany due to different light bulbs. Berlin, as you may know, is my favorite city I’ve ever been to. It’s the only place where I’ve been engrossed by its history (I’m not a history guy,) so this image fascinates me. Since West Berlin […]

Also: “The Cogless Steampunk” Last weekend, after an amazing all-nighter rave called Rumpus, I heard about another all-nighter called Imaginarium – a sci-fi/fetish themed event. This one, unlike most of the others, required some sort of effort be put into your costume. At previous events, considering I’m living out of a backpack, I hadn’t bothered […]

Big surprise, huh? I can’t seem to stay away from this place. But I have an excuse! It was actually for “work” this time – Mercedes invited me to come drive a good selection of their cars, anything from the smart electric car to the monstrous 600 horsepower Mercedes SLS AMG supercar. So really, was […]

And so the time has come. I’ve been in London for exactly two months, and I’m coming awfully close to my one-year anniversary for this trip. I just booked a ticket, as you can see, for Tuesday to ride from London to Paris on a bus. That’s a 7.5 hour ride. On a bus. Without […]

According to Wikipedia, there are about 4.5 million notary publics in the States vs. approx. 740 in England and Wales and 1,250 in Australia and New Zealand. In the US, you can find a notary on every corner, and at least in NC, it costs about 5 bucks for a stamp. I was recently sent […]

I was staying in one hostel here in Prague for about $8/night and really liked it – Art Hole Hostel. I was unable to find a couchsurfer in time so I needed to extend my stay a few days into the weekend but they were fully booked, so I booked three nights at Czech Inn, […]
